What Make Kudos Different?

Well, we built our business on sourcing the right data for Clients. We know the markets, the players, the movers and the shakers. We also know the sharks to steer clear of! And we have a proven due diligence process for on-boarding data partners.

The UK’s Most Comprehensive KYC Universe

Kudos Data Solutions has created the UK’s largest KYC Identity Verification Universe, designed for identity verification and ‘Know Your Customer’ purposes. With monthly updates, the Universe is the first of its kind in the UK due to our unique linkage of :

Why use Kudos?

KYC system suppliers know their systems. But they are not data sourcing experts — that is our job! We research each market in the world, we talk to each supplier, we understand their data and sources. We do due diligence. And then we negotiate on your behalf. We also manage the data supplies, updates and Client/Supplier liason. All for a fixed fee per country

Let Us Manage the KYC Data Sourcing Process

Kudos are system-agnostic! We work with all Know Your Customer system providers to lend our experience in the data-sourcing world. We identify and test various datasets in each country, manage the long-list process and refine this to a short-list which is then used for Proof of Concept processing within the KYC environment. Then we negotiate hard on the client’s behalf for roll-out and manage all data supplies to the client or KYC supplier.

We have worked with Mark and his team for 6 years due to their expertise in the Fleet sector and their access to high ROI fleet data sources. These include their own in-house Fleet Universe and 3rd party datasets. We utilise a combination of actual tele-marketed leads and also propensity-modelled records which are scored by Kudos according to the business profile. This approach has worked consistently.
